Dear gods – were heading greater than 45 degrees.

I’m working on a small cell phone and computers are not out of purgatory yet. I am though and my son and the last few days
something told me that there are changes in the aether. Today I woke up to a message on what’s-up – on my passed away husband’s old cell – there is no money in there and no connection – I just have it to check phone numbers

But I opened everything and it picked up an open network – miracles is the thing that I mean – I saw two today! I am working on free internet that I should not be able to pick up.

The site looks so good ÀHH! There is only the minimum of tech tweaking to be done. You done damn near perfect. I’m trying to read like ET in the old movie – trying to catch up.

The stress on individuals is making them do strange things. I think some changed into a new cult … They cannot understand the changes.

The nicest thing – in the middle of this very story I was dealing with a physician out of Venezuela – still leftovers of my own illness – little leftovers – he looked at me, stood back and said You are very strong and slapped me on my shoulder. That was the beginning of an ongoing discussion re Venezuela

I’ll never think of Venezuela or of a certain layer of Latin Americans in the same way again. And I know, there is a level of insanity just brewing up a stink.

Is that not the strangest thing? Weirdess. I’m stuck to the photos where they crawl out of the tunnels. The Chabad-Lubavitchers have always been very strange.

This piece ….

⭕ 🇨🇳🇺🇸 China’s Ministry of Defense puts the Asia-Pacific region on heightened alert amid US military deployment. “The Chinese military pays close attention to the actions of the United States and will firmly protect China’s maritime rights, security and sovereignty in the region,” said Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Wu Qian.
Let us note that the picture is gradually taking shape, and Beijing is closely monitoring this. Obviously, the United States is restoring the military airfield on the island of Tinian

Is from Reuters.  So far it does not exist in the China Ministry of Defense site or any of the major Chinese media.

I know someone high profile that was going to work on the campaign – a specialist job – but decided not to.

The man refuses to see, as his own staff has briefed him.

As to Yemen’s Houthis, this is the important thing!

Activity at the port of Eilat in Israel is almost at a standstill.

It is a spectacularly successful marine blockade.  Haaretz says:

THE YEMEN FRONT “presents an entirely new threat to the economy because it is targeting Israel’s international trade. The Houthi attacks are already pinching Israel’s maritime trade. Cargo traffic at Eilat port is down by 80 percent and the cost of marine insurance for Israeli-owned (and now presumably Israel-bound) vessels is soaring. Companies like Israel’s Zim are rerouting their ships away from the Red Sea, having them go around Africa instead – a change that adds two weeks to the voyage. All of this will add to the costs of imports, which will be passed on to the Israeli consumer.”

Info on the ‘Houthis’. Few of us know this. https://t.me/VanessaBeeley/22053

I still see people misrepresent the Houthis as “Iran backed” blah blah which just feeds the Western media complex. A reminder :

“Seeing a lot of people confused by these news. “These are Houthis, not the Yemeni government” some people screech. You’re wrong. Here’s a quick crash course on some background history, the political landscape in Yemen & appropriate terminology:

1. The “Houthis” (known officially as the Ansarallah) is a broad grassroots movement with only a few defined political keypoints. This is deliberate, as the movement seeks to incorporate and represent the Yemeni people in its entirety across both Islamic and political differences. The movement has a right-wing, a centre-wing and a left-wing, each organized into separate unions and interest groups. For example, the left-wing is organized into what is called the “Cultural Front Against the Aggression”, just to be very specific.

2. The “Houthis” ceased being a rebel group in late 2014 with the advent of the September 21st Revolution and the signing of the UN-sponsored Peace & National Partnership Agreement.

Prior to 2014, the group could indeed be described as a rebel movement as it fought 6 consecutive wars against the corrupt Saudi-backed government of Ali Abdullah Saleh. In September 2014, when the “Houthis” entered Sana’a to topple said government, more than 2/3rds of the entire Yemeni Armed Forces switched and took their side instead of the side of the government, giving the “Houthis” access to missile stockpiles and heavy weapons. More on that further down.

3. There are currently two competing governments in Yemen, one based in the constitutional capital Sana’a, and one de-facto based in Aden – although the Aden-based government remains unable to exercise its authority there. The “internationally-recognized government” based in Aden doesn’t actually operate from within Yemen, but from a shadow cabinet based in the luxurious Ritz Carlton hotel in Riyadh where they’ve been exiled since February 2015.
Their direct authority is limited to warlord figures and tribal factions doing their bidding, representing less than 15% of Yemen’s total population. In turn, the so-called “Houthi rebels” are part of what is called the Government of National Salvation, which exercises direct authority over 85% of Yemen’s entire population.

4. The forces which have launched drones, ballistic & cruise missiles towards Israel are the forces aligned with the Government of National Salvation. They are far from being a “rag-tag rebel group”, but operates as a truly conventional army. They don’t “represent” the “Houthis”, nor do they wage war on behalf of one party or group against another. They represent all of Yemen, and fight on behalf of all of Yemen without exception. They are the only Armed Force in Yemen loyal to a government with a parliamentary mandate to exercise authority – a mandate the Saudi-backed “government” does not have.

It was indeed the Yemeni Armed Forces which launched the attacks against Israel.

“But aren’t they Iran-backed”?

Sure. Nobody is denying this. But the assistance Iran has been giving the “Houthis” does not even compare with the assistance it has given to Iraqi groups or even Hezbollah. Iranian assistance to the “Houthis” has thus far been limited to technical assistance and political support, such as recognizing the Government of National Salvation as the legitimate government of Yemen and opening a Yemeni embassy in Tehran.

On the technical aspect, the Iranian government has supplied the “Houthis” with blueprints for missiles and drones, as well as technical expertise for assembly and design. All missiles that the “Houthis” currently possess are manufactured locally inside Yemen based on the technical assistance supplied by Iran.

There has been a concerted effort by the US, UK, Saudi Arabia and the UAE to amplify the “Iran-backed rebels” narrative in hopes of stripping the “Houthis” of their national and local agency.
